not just because it helps with the long term deficit, but because we've got to invest in people, in education and job training and infrastructure. we've got a lot to do as a country. we've got to strengthen our safety nets. the middle class can't possibly afford anymore taxes. that's why the rich have to pay their fair share. >> cenk: let me throw a quick question. >> i think if it's framed that way in terms of jobs and public investment and all of us, i think that's a winning way of framing it. >> cenk: you're definitely right about that, there's no question about that. the question is the guy in the white house is not going to frame it that way. if my prediction is right and we'll go to the upper end of it and say the marge national tax rate gets moved up. is that a good deal for a bad deal? >> it's a bad deal, because remember the clinton highest marginal tax rates on dual filers 39.6% that is still historically very, very low. i mean, before 1980, the highest marge national tax rate was 71% under eisenhower, 91%. even if you consider all of the tax deductions that the wealthy took in thos

the best education money could buy, and numerous cars, houses, boats, and offshore bank accounts. life can be so cruel. i loved the way that he mocked him. meanwhile what is john boehner up to? other than fighting the president on the grand bargain and the so-called fiscal cliff, he said if you do filibuster reform, and you actually can get legislation passed through the senate well, we would hate that because we love gridlock in washington as the republicans right? so he said, if the senate reforms it, the filibuster, we'll block every vote. quote, any bill that reaches the republican-led house based on the senate democrat's heavy handed power play would be dead on arrival. if you thought gridlock was bad before, wait until you get a load of the new gridlock where he would kill every single bill. do you remember what president obama said before the election? i'll remind you don't worry here it comes. my hope, my expectation is that after the election, now that it turns out that the goal beating obama does not make much sense because i'm not running again that we can start getting
